After a polar vortex you might be tempted to hunker down and order delivery instead of bundling up to shop for groceries. But many of these comforting recipes from Bobby Flay rely on staples you’ll likely have on hand. Even better, they ensure that you can have the most important meal of the day even after 5pm.

A strata is a breakfast casserole featuring bread, eggs and cheese. Bobby’s version is filled with sauteed cherry tomatoes and spinach. This big batch dish serves eight, but you’ll definitely be tempted for seconds.

There are several benefits to putting together a bellini bar if you’re hosting a continental brunch. They’re delicious and everyone will have fun making their own cocktails. Traditionally, the bellini is made with a white peach puree and topped with prosecco (it originated in Venice) but you can put any sparkling wine on ice and put out a variety of add-ins.

If you can’t make it to Miami to partake in the festivities, you can still experience a Bobby Flay South Beach brunch by tuning in to Brunch @ Bobby’s at 9:30pm ET. On tonight’s episode, Bobby is cooking up brunch South Beach style with a menu including a Spanish Tortilla with Homemade Chorizo; Yucca Hash Browns; and a Mojito Champagne Cocktail.

This week was Mardi Gras, and thousands of bourbon-imbued revelers paraded the streets of New Orleans, tossing beads about and scarfing King cake. For many, it’s a time to let it all hang out (not just figuratively) and party recklessly before Lent when they choose to give up decadence for 40 days.

Bobby Flay can cook anything, but there’s nothing he loves to cook more than brunch. With a spatula in one hand, a cocktail in the other and nowhere to be, the Iron Chef is in his element on Cooking Channel’s Brunch @ Bobby’s. The third season premieres tonight at 9:30pm ET with Bobby creating a brunch menu in the style of Italian trattorias — casual, laid back and with plenty of family-style dishes!

In the picture above, he’s cooking up a side of Rosemary Home Fries with Pancetta, Parmesan and Parsley. Tune in at 9:30pm ET to see how he makes his full mouthwatering menu including Cinnamon Mascarpone Pancakes with Warm Morello Cherries and Hazelnuts; Frittata with Cherry Tomatoes, Sausage, Arugula and Ricotta; and a citrus and mint cocktail he calls a Citronata to toast to an amazing new season.

Plus, be sure to check out his new web series Bobby Flay Fit starting January 14 on FoodNetwork.com to get Bobby’s fitness tips and healthy eating plans.

Tune in to Brunch @ Bobby’s every Thursday at 9:30pm ET on Cooking Channel.

We’re already sick of some rivalries (looking at you, Phelps and Lochte). And sometimes the tension is just too much to take.

We hear you. That’s why this week Cooking Channel is serving up mini-marathons in primetime of The Boys of Summer (Bobby Deen, Bobby Flay and Alton Brown) – the perfect respite from the 2012 London Olympics.

Bobby Flay stars as himself tonight on Portlandia‘s Brunch Special, attempting to make the perfect marionberry pancakes for Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein and show director Jonathan Krisel (pictured above). We don’t know if he’ll pull it off and, since we’ll be watching Bobby on Iron Chef America on Cooking Channel during the same time slot, we may never know*.
